re: Drew Brees Now Warrants SERIOUS Consideration for MVP

quote:If Brees has more yards, TDs, and less INTs than any of the other contenders, he will most likely win MVP if the saints make the playoffs. if the saints make the playoffs. Saints MUST make the playoffs - hence his "value".

Well my actual problem is that he's not even being MENTIONED in the running and once again, the media seems to have determined their choice midway through the season. I can't believe we're really going to give Manning his 5th.

I get that, but the team is 5-5 and while that feels great, MVPs usually don't play on 5-5 teams. I don't think there should be any discussion. 5-5. As the saints continue to win, the MVP support will rise.

While this is true, I have to sit and think...is he the single biggest reason the Saints have climbed back to relevance this year? I would say almost...but it's the newfound dedication to run the football.

frick it. People will look back and see names like Rodgers, Brady, and Manning next to an achievement given out once a year. No big deal. But next to the records that has taken time and generations to break Drew will have his name there. MVP is over rated in comparison to the other milestones set by Drew.

Seconds remaining in the half...Saints are in long field goal range (maybe???)...it's 3rd and 13 Snap to Brees...feeling pressure, he dances and moves forward in the pocket buying time to allow Lance Moore to burst long...Brees throws as he's hit...SCORE! SAINTS TOUCHDOWN!

When that play took place right there I had a feeling come over me that this guy is the best QB that has played his position in the NFL. He doesn't have the most awards, Super Bowls, etc. but he IS the best ever.

Who cares about MVP's? If he couldn't win it in 2009 and last year, then who cares. We have a Hall of Fame QB, but we NEED the running game to continue thriving forward for a chance to win out and make the playoffs. The running game, does nothing but open up the play action for Brees, increasing his completion % and cutting down the Ints. He can throw for 250yrds per game and 2 tds, as long as we win out and go far in the playoffs the fans should be happy.
